Looked at a small field of milkweed (approx.) 150' by 30" . Most of the plants were mature and tough,with few eggs. Alongside the field is a mowed edge. Of 70 or so re-sprouted young milkweeds in the mowed area, half had eggs with a few small caterpillars as well. Monarch moms definitely prefer tender baby food for egg laying. Have looked in this same area for many years and this is one of the best counts!!
